While visiting Death Valley National Park, California, in the late winter of 2023, we took a little side trip to check out the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Ash Meadows NWR is located just over the border in Nevada, about an hour’s drive from Furnace Creek in Death Valley.
I was impressed with the modern visitor center, wooden boardwalks, numerous information plaques, and sculpted metal bridges. Surprising for such an off-the-beaten-path wildlife refuge. For more information, check out the official Ash Meadows NWR website.
While wildlife viewing this time of year was limited, the many aquamarine-colored springs and pools were beautiful! Quite the contrast to the barren desert surroundings. We enjoyed the short peaceful hikes to view the springs and ponds scattered around the refuge. I even saw some of the rare blue pupfish only found here.

WOW so pretty. We were just out there and not far, we even went to Death Valley. Didn’t know about this place.
What a beautiful day for exploring the refuge! I had no idea it was such a special place and that the facilities were so first rate. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Your in our neighborhood! My wife and I love that area for birding. Spring and fall are our times to go. It is VERY green there in the spring. We have spotted about 50 different species of birds there, some of which we haven’t seen elsewhere. It is a critical water hole for migratory birds, and you can see some unexpected birds, such as pelican, egrets and herons. You also see ducks not usually in southern Nevada, like brown ducks. Lots of wildlife, but you have to be patient to see them. We have seen Mountain Lions, Bobcats, foxes, several species of snakes and of course the ever present Coyote. Best of all very few people know about this place, even in Vegas, so we usually have very little company.
You bring a candid edge to your channel that is really enjoyable. No electronics or gadgetry just the country you travel and explore is often times simply marvelous. I'll explore this one as well!~Cheers!
Another amazing video. Thank for sharing.
Great video Ray.
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
We got a chance to visit the park last year and it was so interesting, what a change in the landscaping compared to the death valley area around it. Great video Ray.
